The Standard says: "The Voice
(national prohibition organ) has ac-
cepted the challenge of the Stand
ard, and the arguments IN favor of
prohibition as th9 bottom remedy for
existing social evils will shortly be
presented to our readers, while those
in favor of the single tax will be laid
before the readers of the Iosce."
Wouldn't it be discouraging to
the debaters if they found out in the
end that neither of them had the
"bottom remedy?' Which they
will certainly find ere they know
all that can be known. -Canadian

AMERICAN BAKERS UNION, No. 81.
SAN Francisco, CAL.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL.
q. Block, Esq.,:
SIR-Circular asking for authority to
levy an assessment OF twenty-five cents
per member in favor of No. "a vas sub
mitted at our regular meeting On Satur-
day evening, Goth inst. | am happy to
say not only is 81 in favor of levy but
on receipt of order have instructions to
forward amount for seventy-iive mem
bers. There should he no hesitation in
extending to "A all the financial support
necessary to make this their great strug-
gle victorious one. Not only are the
journeymen bakers of the Pacific Coast
directly benefited, but eventually every
journeyman in the United States must
be gamer, when it can be asserted
without fear of contradiction, that a
city of over 100000 people can be sup
piled with bread, cakes, pies, etc, with
out men being compelled to work from
80 to 105 hours per week. Even now it
is proved beyond doubt that sixty-four
per week suf1ices for all the wants of so
large population. There are, say, $50
houses including institutions occupied
by members of Nos. "a and 81, out of
which about seventeen are now filled
with scabs.
AS all those scab Jobs are lost to "A
they must bear the brunt of the struggle
to regain them. Agitation, when pro-
longed, is very costly: extra idle men
must be attended to together with extern
sive printing, boycotting, and all the
necessary labor to keep the public posted
and interested in the Union cause, runs
into the hundreds of dollars weekly
True unionists never pause to count ex-
penses, hence it is am sanguine that
there is backbone in our National Union
to furnish the means that may be re-
quired to lombard the scabs out of San
Francisco and plant us in position to
return the compliment to comrades east
of the Rockies, should they at some fu-
ture time be forced into struggle for
emancipation from degrading conditions
of labor. One millionaire boss has sue
ceeded in inducing those sixteen bosses
to combine and give us battle; not ex-
pecting that poor men could keep united
and make pecuniary sacrifices for any
length of time. He is beginning to un-
derstand that it is rather costly amuse-
ment for ever so large purse. | am con-
WINGED that a very short time will decide
this contest and in very decisive man
ner. Should the bosses by any chance
succeed it would be disastrous to union
ism on this coast for at least many years.
But victory on our side means perma-
nent settlement of all trouble in the
bakeshop. With victory will be estab-
lished beyond cavil our right to work
only ten hours per day, and for wages at
least equal to that of other tradesmen
throughout the country. And with this
change must come the consciousness of
manhood with the power to assert it,
and the disappearance | trust for ever
from our ranks of sycophants and shiv-
ering co yards that unfortunately placed
in the hands of selfish men, scorpions to
to whip us with into an outward show
of contentment. Is not such a change
worth fighting for and paying for?
Respectfully, JOHN J. BAKkETT, Pres.

Frank X. Foster, in the Labor
Leader, says: 'From an impartial
standpoint it would appear that the
Socialists have the best of the argu-
ment. AS we understand the case,
Mr.. Georges objection to Socialism
is more a matter of expediency than
of convictions, for in Progress and
Poverty he speaks of Socialism as
"a high and noble ideal and on
the platform he has often reiterated
many of the Socialistic propositions. "

Civilizlng,

Petticoats are great civilizers. For
years the wood camp and Brownsville
have been full of big, dirty, ragged men,
but away off there with nothing but
men to associate with. they became in
different, careless, reckless. This has
now changed and it came from the ar
rival in their midst Of a handsome
young lady, sister Of one Of the gang.
TIE crowd has been putting on billed
shirts, GO barefoot no longer, shave and
wash their faces, and are fast assuming
dndish airs.
Pete Johnston has developed into the
masher OF the mob, and can scarcely be
recognized as the Pete Johnston of old
On Sunday he appears in b~roadcloth,
fine boots polished to a glittering bright
ness. Kid gloves as big as a ham are
also used. A new buggy, a pair OF
matched dun horses with plated harness,
lap ropes and other luxuries have been
added. Bob Robinson and other rivals
have taken back seats and Pete is the
hero Of the occasion. He lacks but one
thing, a plug hat, and that he will soon
have.
Now is the time for the missionary
societies Of the east to send a hundred
young ladies desiring, husbands to

Better conception of the real ohJ,ct of
purchasing and operating mining prop
erty more generally prevails than ever
before in mining history. Production
is more prominently the chief obje ttive
point, and to this end the efforts Of the
management are now most persistentIy
directed. To accomplish this it was
found necessary, in order to make
justifiable returns, that every item of
expense must be carefully considered
and economical management prevail in
every department. This establishment
of mining upon q business basis has
already proven not only the correctness
of the position, but also in a stronger
l;gh. than ever before, the stability,
security and superiority of mining as a
business over a large majority of thos G
lines of enterprise in which capital and
labor are invested.
AS marked and important as have
been the improvements and advance.
ments in the few past years, there &
room yet in the same direction, and the
wider knowledge Of the present and
future generation will be shown in the
improved machinery and processes
which will give much better results than
1t is now possible to obtain, SO that the
outlook is particularly encouraging and
satisfactory.
Not only viii improvements be made
in machinery, and its adaptation to min
ing and treatment of ore, but it is by nc
means improbable, that new minerals
and new applications of those already
known will continue to be made, tc
keep pace with the advancing line Of
human ivilization.-Chicago Mining

more meritorious in point of point than
in metrical accuracy. One satirical

who can listen to satire on their own

spirits, it must be confessed, in any
Black Hills town. And, in fact, it is
safe TO leave to the editors of rival towns
the task OF satirizing ones own village.

will leave Nevada August /, for the
Hills, under engagement to the Dead
wood Reduction works, for the purpose
of making a thorough investigation OF

Bald Mountain and Ruby Basin. With
characteristic public spirit, Perry
Ankeny has rendered the use of the
Buxton mill and works, laboratory etc,

will be made. Mr.. CLARK has been very
successful with his tests of ore for

Advancement.

The marked improvement and changes
which have taken place in mining
operations, throughout the country gen
orally, are gratifying and satisfactory to
those who have the best interest of this
industry at heart, and have recognized
the fact that it could secure no perma-
nent growth or development until it
had passed through certain stages of
Transformation and finally reached the
foundations Of a practical business basis.
1t is but a few years since stocks were
apparently more prominent and i'm.
portant than mines. The Stock Ex-
change was the most active and exciting
field of operations. Stocks rose and fell
upon the varying tide Of excitement.
regardless of condition, output and,
sometimes even, the existence of the
mines. Most Improbable methods in
the mining field prevailed costly ma
chinery, ~extravagant management. and
careless plans were generally prevalent.
SO true was this that in some localities.
with the improved appliances of later
days, the waste dumps and t~ailings of
many mines and mills to-day pay a
larger profit than was obtained from
their first treatment.
With the decadence of stock specula-
ton the glory of the dividend paving
mine has also departed. Many private
mining operations unsung and unknown
are yielding regularly more to their
owners than was paid in the largest
dividends that were so triumphantly
announced by stock corporations.
While dividend paying mines are by no
means objectionable there are at the
present time. We may safely state, ten
mines paying regularly a satisfactory
profit to their owners, to every one on
the list of dividend payers.
